SYNOPSIS
Often cited as Japan’s first glam rock record, Tokyo New York captures the cross-cultural spark of the early ’70s. Fronted by singer Alan Merrill with guitarist Hiroshi “Monsieur” Kamayatsu, the band blended Bowie-style glitter rock with Stones-inspired swagger, delivering a sound that was both Western in influence and distinctly Japanese in flavor. Raw, stylish, and ahead of its time, the album stands as a cult classic and a cornerstone of Japan’s rock history.
